Brooklyns Get 16 Hits;
Thormahlen Batted Out
Southpaw Forced to Retire Under Fh iu Fourth
Inning and Is Succeeded by Quinn; Olson
; Is Hcro at Bat, With Four Safeties to His Credit
By W. J. Macbeth
JACKSCNVILLE, Fla., March 20.?Brooklyn made it three in a
j-ow over the Yankees by winning to-day's game.by a score of 5 to 1. The
Dodi?'*Ts rolled up sixteen hits for a total of eighteen bases. They
pcppered Herb Thormahlen and Jack Quinn rather freely, driving the
southpaw from the box in-the fourth inning. Percy Smallwood blanked
the National Leaguers in the last two innings.
Ivy Olson was the hero of the Brook-<S
lyn attack. He had four clean singles
and drove in three rnna. The Yankee*
looked helpless before the pitching of
Jeff Pfeffer, Sherlfod Smith and Leon
Cadore, and but for Thormahlen's dou?
ble, which started an inning, would
have been shut out. New York could
not hit in the pinches. In the ninth
inning Ruth went into the stand to
'call" a fan who had called him "a big
cheese."
Manager Miller Kuggins received
word from the Pacific Coast this mdrn
ing that outfielder Duffy Lewis had
left early Tuesday morning for Jack?
sonville and that he was du? to reach
camp late to-night.
Lewis Dae at Camp
Lewis is the last of the Yankees ex?
pected to report, and the only one re
maining outside the fold. Pitcher Bill
Piercy, another native son, it is true
i* not on hand and may not come, but
nobody is worrying at all about him.
Huggins has a wealth of seasoned
pitchers. Piercy could scarce hope to
make the grade with the Yankee twirl
injr staff and probably figures along
just these lines in remaining away.
Like most of the native sons he pre
ters the Coast League before any other
minor circuit.
Lewis will have his work cut out *or
him beginning Monday, for most of
his fellow club members have been in
training three weeks. Of late Duffy
has taken on a ertat deal of weight,
and he finds it harder and harder each
ipring to get into -proper physical con?
dition. Lewis did not report earlier
because of an infected arm.
A couple of double plays ruined
Brooklyn's chances for a lot of runs
in the early innings. Olson started
the game with a line single to right,
only to be doubled when Neis rappeu
to the box. Johnson doubled to cen?
ter. but Wheat bunted out.
In the third Brooklyn scored. Krue?
ger singled and raced to third when
Pipp chucked Pfeffer's bunt to center.
Olson singled to right, scoring Krue
ger. Aaron Ward made a wonderful
.stop on Neis's wicked clip behind his
bag, but couldn't make a play, and the
bases were filled. Johnston flied to
Vick. Sammy's throw got through
Ruel, but Thormahlen was backing and
picked up the ball in time to trap
Pfeffer off third Wheat grounded to
the box.
Southpaw Saves Shutout
The Yankees tied in their haif.
Thormahlen doubled to right, advanced
on Fewster's sacrifice and scored on
Peck's long fly to Wheat. Pipp strolled
nnd Ruth singled to right, putting him
on third. Babe stole second, but Aaron
Ward grounded to short.
Brooklyn knocked Thomahlen out of
thc box in the fourth. Myers doubled
to left and Konetchy was safe when
Pipp let Konetchy's grounder through
him. Chuck Ward singled to center.
scoring Myers. Konetchy and Ward
advanced on a wild pitch before Krue?
ger walked, filling the bases.
Thormahlen struck out Elliott, who
batted for Pfeffer, but Olson came
through with his third consecutive
single, scoring Konetchy and C. Ward.
Quinn walked Neis, filling the bases.
P'ewster took Johnston's grounder and
forced Krueger at the plate. Then he
tossed out Zach Wheat.
After two were down in the sixth the
Dodgers picked up another run. Neis
beat a slow hopper to Peckinpaugh and
stole second. Johnston singled to cen?
ter for the tally, but was out trying for
second on the throw-in, Ruth to Ruel
to Fewster.
And Babe Struck Out
Gleich, hitting for Quinn, singled,
with only one out, in the seventh, but
Fewster hit into a double play. In the
eighth Pipp singled with one gone.
Cadore struck out Ruth, then walked
Aaron Ward. Sammy Vick poppetf
weakly to Johnston.
Huggins read the riot act to his
players this morning and then ordered
ihem out for their first morning prac?
tice of the spring, which was un un?
usually vigorous one. Because of the
long time remaining here, the manager
was inclined to be lenient until some
of the noble athletes began to encroach
upon his generosity.
There will be no more lack of sys
<r-m or discipline in the Yankees' train?
ing. Besides a curfew law, every
Player has been ordered to put in an
appearance in the breakfast room be?
fore 9 o'cloek each morning.
Olsen hit Thormahlen's first pitch to
right for a pretty line single, but
little Neis obligingly grounded to the
box'into a double play. This was well,
for Johnston doubled to the center
field fence immediately afterward.
On his first trip to the plate Ruth
found Peck on third with two out. He
awung at Pfeffer's flrst offering and
topped a weak grounder for Konetchy.
Hi Myers made a beautiful running
catc"i off Aaron Ward in the second
inning that spoiled a fine. attempt for
an extra base knock.
Vick grceted Sherrod Smith with a
pretly line single to start New York-s
fourth, but Bodie hit into a double
play. Quinn fanned after Ruel walked.
Myers laid down a nifty bunt to
??tart the fifth. It was a twisting tap
that tangled up Quinn, Pipp and Few?
ster.
Fewejor has developed a peculiar
crouch at the bat which interferes with
his uaually free s*ing, and as a con
scqueoce his batting has slumped.
Ivy Olsen was the batting hero of
tho afternoon. He had four hit* in flve
times at bat, driving home three of
Hrooklyn s runs.

FORT WOR.M. ! ; ., March 20.?
Jawn McGraw and h . Glarua defcati !
thc Ruthless BosUjn Red Sox in thoi:
opening exhibition game before a big
crowd at Pantbcr Park this afternoon.
The final reckoning was 6 to 4, with
thc New Yorkers on the right end of
the score.
Frank Frisch, Fordham's pride,
.vl?ve_ a large part in humbling the
Am**?*?-! Leaguers. It was his alash
!ng threc-base drive in the eighth in
j ning, with * pair of runners on tho
I hnacB,'that put. the game far beyond
iihe.rCach of the American Leaguers.
j lt was also his fleetnoss in the fourth
j inning, when he stole home while Mc
| Nally and Mclnnis were attempting lo
! tag 'out Kelly, that gave thc G'"ints
j the lead.
The game was featured by long dis?
tance hitting. There were no less
than seven three-base clouts and a
pair of two-baggers. Five of thc triples
were crowded into one inning. It was
the first, before Arthur Nehf and
Bumpus Jones got warmed up. Nehf
worked the first five innings for the
Giants, and after the opening session
held the Sox runless.
Benton Unable to Pitch
Rube Benton was booked to finish
the game, but John Calhoun has sev?
eral pet bunions and was unable to
! perform. Wilbur Hubbell finished the
j game for the Giants, and in the ninth
i inning the Red Sox threatened to
I snatch victory from defeat. But a
double play started by Arthur Fletcher
choked the rally. ? ,
George Burns inaugurated the series
by clouting the second ball Jones
pitched to deep center for three bases.
Arnold Staz, the Holy Cross youngster
who was subbing for ftoas Young in
right field, singled and the first run
of the series was over the plate.
With the count :wo and three
Fletcher struck out and Statz was
doubled trying for second. The attack
on Jones was resumed by Laughing
| Larry Doyle, who hit to center for
three bases. Benny Kauff fo.lowed
with a drive that landed near the top
I of the rightfield fence. The ball, how
| ever, bounded back into Hooper's
hands and, while Doyle tallied, Kauff
was caught at second.
Hooper, like Burns, opened for the
Sox with a triple over Kauff's head.
Foster hit to Fletcher and Hooper
crossed the plate. Mike Menosky, the
former Washington player, cracked a
line drive to right. The ball took a
nasty hop and eiuded Statz. Result,
another triple. Tim Hendryx, the for?
mer Yankee, hit down the right field
line for three bases, Menosky scoring.
That ended Boston's scoring until the
eighth inning.
Frisch Steals Home
In the mean time, however, the Giants
picked up another run in the fourth.
Kauff singled and was forced by Frisch.
Kelly hit to Foster, who threw over
McNally's head, Frisch going to third.
On the next pitch Kelly essayed to steal
second. He was caught between the
lines, but jrot safely back to first and
Frisch raced across the plate.
In the eighth Hendryx doubled for
the Red Sox and came home on Scott's
safe blow. Hack Eibel batted for Rus?
sell in the ninth and singled to right.
Hooper walked. Foster hit to Fletcher
and into a double killing, Eible going
to third. The Brooklyn boy counted on
Mc-nosky's hit to right.
Young is suffering from a lame ankle
and will not be able to play for several
days.

America's Cup Contest Causes
? Shifts in Dates for Racing
Larchmont Week and
Other Fixtures Are
Changed; To Alter Rules
The annual meeting of the' Yacht
Racing Association of Long Island
Sound will be held at the Hotel Astor
on Wednesday evening, March 31. The
most important business to bo trans
acted will be the awarding of racing
dates for the summer season. In for?
mer years, this has been more or less
of a perfunctory detail of the meeting.
For many years clubs have had the
same Saturdays each season, and the
schedule has been passed along without
any change.
Things will be a little different this
year. The first race for America's Cup
is scheduled to be sailed on Thursday,
July 15. lf things were run according
to the old schedule, the cup race would
be sailed during Larchmont Week, the
most important fixture in Sound yacht
ing. The Larchmont yachtsmen have,
therefore, suggested that they start
their week on July 24 and end on
July 31.
A tentative schedule has been drawn
up that will be presented to the dele?
gates. In addition to the change in the
dato of Larchmont Week, the list shows
several other important changes. The
Manhasset Bay Yacht Club js down for !
June 12. Last year they held their
regatta on August 23. The Orienta i
Yacht Club, which had June 12 las
year, has been put down for June 26, a
aate upon which the Seawanhaka-Cor
inthian Yacht Club will sail its annual
regatta.
Thc Huguenot Yacht Club'a regatta
nas been moved from August 1 to Au- j
gust 7. Last year the latter date was j
taken by the Horseshoe Harbor Yacht
Club, an organization that did not hold
a regatta. The Horseshoe Club does
not appear on the list this year. 'Phe
New York Athletic Club, which gave it$
flrst cprm regatta on August 2 last
year, will give its second race on Au?
gust 14 this year if the tentative list of
dates is passed. The Manhasset B*y
Yacht Club, which tad June 13 U?t
August 21. The only other change is
thc appearance of the Sea Cliff Yacht
Club on the list. for a, race on Septem?
ber 18, thc final. Saturday of the sea?
son.
The executive comniittee will pre?
sent two important changes in the rac?
ing rules to the delegates at the an?
nual meeting. One refers to tho un
fortunate incident in connection with
the Horseshoe Harbor Yacht Club last
year. It suggests that "any club which
does not intend to hold a championship
race allotted to it shall notify the sec?
retary of each club in the association
and the press at least ten days previ?
ous to said scheduled race."
The other suggestion refers to the
timing of yachts. As things now stand
a race committee Is supposed to stay
at the finish line until every yacht fin
ishes. It quite often happens thar
yachts drop out of a race and the com
i mittee sits and waits for hours in vnin.
j A change in the racing rule has been
j suggested that would permit the com
I mittee to go ashore after a reasonable
i time without breaking^ny rules.
The tentative r?eing*dates and the
slate drawn up by the nominating com?
mittee is as follows:

Boxers and Matmen
In Final Olympic
Tryouts in July
Boxing and wrestling trials for places
upon the American Olympic team will
be conducted along lines similar to
those fkrariged for the track and field
candidaxes. These conditions were
worked out at a recent meeting of the
American Olympic Committee, and the
official program of sectional and na?
tional trials will be announced within
a short time.
While no dates have as yet been
fixed for these preliminaries, it is ex?
pected that the sectional bouts for the
boxers will be held about the middle
of June and the final try-out early in
July. It is probable that the sectional
contests will be assigned to certain
cities in the South, middle West, At?
lantic coast, Rocky Mountain and Pa?
cific Coast territories.
The conditions lo govern those bouts
will be identical with those which will
prevail in the Olympic contests at Ant?
werp, August 15 to 26. Eight-ounce
gloves will be worn by the contestants,
sund the boxers will compete under the
rules of the International Boxing Fed?
eration. Three three-minute rounds
will form the ordinary engagement,* and
two judges, in addition to the referee,
will pass upon the merits of the boxers.
In case of a disagreement of the judges
at the termination of the third round
the refereei has the power to order an
additional round to break the tio.
The official program of the Olympic
games states that the: boxing contests
will be.held at Antwerp from August
15 to 26, with entries closing on July
26.

The Umpire's "Psalm of Strife"
Tell me not in moumful numbers
Tlutt an ump's life is a dream;
For the ump is dead that slumbers
When an Evers guards tlie team.
Strife is real?strife is earnest,
And the grave is soon our goal;
Cussed thou art to cuss returnest,
Stands the token of our role.
ln the ga-me's broad field of battle,
Where the raving fan careens,
You can hear the bottles rattle
As they bounce from off our beans.
Lives of umpires oft remind tis
We must leave upon the bound,
Or, departing, leave behind us
Busted bottles on the ground.
Concerning Hoodoos
Will the third class in psychology kindly arise and
answer this question, viz.:
"Is there any such thing as a hoodoo in baseball?"
- Cleveland is now picked as the leading pennant
contender of the American League for 1920. But in
the meanwhile consider this evidence:
1904?Cleveland had the best machine in baseball.
By June 20 the club was 115 points beyond the field.
There was no one even close. Then in succession
Lajoie, Bradley, Joss, Moore, Bay and Flick were badly
injured. Blooie!
1908?Cleveland in reach of the flag?3 games to
play. Game practically over when a close decision
turned contest upside down. Blooie for Cleveland
again!
1918?Cleveland coming at top speed. Overhauling
Red Sox in rush. Season is then clipped short by some
thirty games and Red Sox barely stagger home.
1919?Cleveland overhauling White Sox with a
rush. But season is only 140 games, in place of usual
154. Once more fate has intervened.
For 1920
With an even break of luck this season against
any single rival. Cleveland has the stuff to finally
upset fate.
Speaker has given evidence of being a first class
leader, the-best one Cleveland has known in manv
yeays. J
His club has the pitching and the punch and far
more speed than the Yanks, who also have the first
two requisites.
But there are st*U ^veral thousand Cleveland
fans who ai*e wondering just what will happen this
time.
Hagen's Start
Later on Jim Barnes may rally an_ even up the
count, but in the early golf skirmishing Hagen the
Homebred has obtained a big lead.
These two finished head and head for 1919, with
the contest tossed over into 1920.
In their first meeting at New Orleans over the
36-hole distance Hagen, after being 4 down in the
afternoon, finally triumphed on the 37th green.
This victory wasn't by any wide margin, but it was
a starter. Then in the West Coast championship, at
Belleair, the homebred drove home another spike.
On this occasion, over the 72-hole route, Hagen
led Barnes by 13 strokes, a decisive margin.
The season is still young. By outscoring Hagen
in the British open or the United States open this
summer Barnes can recover this lost ground. The big
tests are still ahead. But Hagen has already shown
that his game is getting properly adjuste*d for the
1920 season, and only rare golf is going to roll him
back.
In discussing the Fiume situation and ltaly's stand
in the league of nations Ping Bodie still maintains his
original viewpoint?i. e.: "I can crash that old apple."
Yankee's War Song
^ Ruth and Ping?Ping and Ruth?
They can bing?and that's the truth.
L. L. F.
Lewis v$. Stecher
Ed and Joe?Joe and Ed_
Crack a toe or mash a head.
John Heydler showed fine judgment in sending
his umpires around to instruct pitchers regarding the
new regulations. For any one who thinks that the
buoyant athlete ever studies the rules of his own ac
cord is not very closely adjacent to the ways of the
buoyant athlete.
The Supreme Court has never yet tackled the
main proposition in the way of trusts and monopolies,
which happens to be Cornell in the intercollegiate test
on track and field. So far only the minor cases of
the Standard Oil and Steel Corporation have been con?
sidered.
When Stecher and Lewis get together the specific
density of the human neck should be established for
all time.
Babe Ruth may seem to be a slow starter, but
why dislodge valuable home runs from the system be?
fore they are ripe enough to go into the official records?
Navy 6Gym' and Fencing
- Squads in Title Meets
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Mar"ch 20.?Naval
Academy teams will be allowed to enter
the finals of the Intercollegiate Gym
nastic Association, to ttake place under
the auspices of Haverford College on
March 26, and the tournament of the
Intercollegiate Fencing Association, to
be held at the Hotel Astor, New York
City, April 16 and 17. This is another
indication of the liberal spirit of the
Navy Department toward athletics at
the academy.
The midshipmen have splendid rec?
ords in both sports, and feel that they
have a, good chance at the champion
ships. In neither sport have they lost
to a college opponent this year. They
have not lost a gym meet for three
seasons, and only two in ten years.
Penn Five Off for Series
PHILADELPHIA, March 20.?The
University of Pennsylvania basketball
team left to-night for the big inter

Smith Equals Johnson's
Record in High Hurdles
ITHACA, N. Y., March 20.-The Cor?
nell track team is fast rounding into
shape for the meet with Michigan next
Saturday, when the champion of the
East will meet the champion, of the
West. In to-day's practice several ex?
eellent times were made in the New
York State drill hall, where the meet
on March 27 will be held.
Walker Smith, intercollegiate low
and high hurdle champion and holder
of the indoor high hurdle title,
equalled Captain Carl E. Johnson's
time in the lllinois meet last week,
when the Western champion stopped
the high fiights in 0:09 3-5 and the low
in eight seconds flat. J. M. Watt was
a close second in both of these events,
and Smith had to exert himself to
finish first.

Cornell Re-elects Molinet
ITHACA, N. Y., March 20.?Joaquin
Molinet, of Chaparra, Cuba, a junior
captain of the Cornell basketball team
this season, to-day was reelected for
the season of 1920-'21. He plays a
forward position.
K-C Stimulates Interest
In All Sport Branches
Wlth the holding of an indoor meet
in this city on April 10 the Knights of
Columbus will inaugurate a program of
nation-wide stimulation of interest in
sports that will become a permanent
feature of the order's activitiea. In
their ministrations to the A. E. F. and
to the troops in home camps the K. of
C. learned that sport is the principal
avenue for appeal to young men.
Archbishop Patriek J. Hayes ef New
York has shown his interest in the
K. C. program by donating a handsome
silver cup, valued at $1,000, for the
winner of the "K. C. 600" at the forth
coming meet at the 22d Regiment Ar?
mory.

Conway Gains
Easy Victory
In Title Rim
Plant Walks Mile in 6:3*
but Finishes Second
Laux Win s on Bik|!
Frank Conway, Morningside AtWet?
Club, completed his first year of atfc.
letic cndeavor by capturing the 3oq.
yard run, Metropolitan Associatita
championship, which featured tim
games of the Third District Masoat
held in the 13th Regiment Armorj
Brooklyn, last night.
The youthful runner swept into tnj
van at the start and never relinquishel
the position, to win by one yard fr?i
James J. O'Brien, Loughlin Lyceum,
Four yards back was Eddie FarrelL
Todd Shipyard A. A.
During the short space of tweh*
months Conway has achieved excep?
tional success. After less than two
months of competition he won ti*
junior "Met" outdoor 100-yard cham?
pionship. He added many triumph
thereafter, thc most notable being his
capturing of the runner-un place i
both the 100 and 220-yard outdoor
junior national title race in Philadel?
phia last September.
CTBrien was always in closest pursuit
of Conway m last night's contest, witji
the remainder of the other'five starter*
far behind.
About 25 yards from the tape O'Brien
succeeded in almost breasting Conwav's
shoulder, but the latter then exercisVd
his reserve speed to easilv pull away.
Conway's effort was doubly appft
ciated when it was learned that he had
i run three heats in the 100-yard handi?
cap previous to the championship.
In the handicap contest Conwav bare
ly missed nipping Terance Conlon, m
Morningside mate, at the tape.
Willie Plant, also a Morningside
member, finished second, from seratcn.
in the one-mile handicap walk. It w-\*.
a great piece of work on the part of
Plant, who had allotted the limit hand?
icap men a one-minure start, or ap
proximately fifty yards of distance.
Plant overtook fourteen* of his
rivals, to finish twenty-five yards
in the wake of William Burkhardt,
Bronx Church House, who received
a 60-second allowance.
The actual time credited to Plant in
covering the mile was 6 minutes 39 sec?
onds, the fastest effort ever returned
by an American walker for the distance.
Fred Laux, New England Wheelmen,
scored his third successive bicycle vic?
tory in leading home five rivals in t*M
final heat of the one-mile handicip
race.
Laux broke the trail from the outset
to finish, a wheel ahead of Jerry NuB*
ziata at the finish.
Sidney Leslie, of the 5th Company,
showed surprising speed in capturing
the 440-yard handicao vun, closed to
members of the 13th' Regiment. The
local mile champion overtook his field
early to win by ten yards in 52 3-5 sw
onds. In the five-mile scratch bicycle
race Walter Stein, New York A. C,
jumped his field a quarter of a mile
from the finish to win by ten yardi
from Fred Laux, the metropolitaB
champion at the distance. ?
Alien Swede, of Princeton, who staitr:
ed from the 10-yard mark, won Ihe
mile handicap run in 4:26. while the
two-mile handicap went to Andy Craw,
from the scratch mark. The one-mile
senior Metropolitan Association relay
